Christian Brothers Conference has released new prayer resources for Lasallian educators. Brother Chris Patiño, General Councilor, wrote a letter introducing both new resources as “a special opportunity to deepen our spiritual lives and strengthen our collective commitment to our shared mission.”
The first resource is a video where Brother William Mann, FSC, D.Min., discusses Saint John Baptist de La Salle’s Method of Interior Prayer.
“As a Lasallian family, we have the gift of the Method of Interior Prayer to practice this in our lives personally and as educators. Brother William Mann’s deep knowledge and personal witness afford us with the opportunity to deepen our understanding and practice of the method,” said Brother Chris in the letter.
The second resource is a collection of 35 meditations from the 1995 book “Ambassadors of Jesus Christ: Prayer Meditations for Christian Educators,” written by Brother William Mann, FSC, Brother Henry Dissanayke, FSC, and Brother Isaias Tzegay, FSC. The meditations have been updated to a new, digital format and are available as a set or individually.
“Through these reflections, we are reminded that as Lasallian educators, we are not merely transmitting knowledge; we are co-laborers with God in the mission of forming young hearts and minds,” said Brother Chris.
“Lasallians, I invite you to take time to engage with these resources, especially in a community setting where you can further reflect and practice together encountering God’s holy presence. May this be an opportunity to encourage one another in the awareness of God’s presence in our lives and commitment to our shared mission of human and Christian education,” wrote Brother Chris.
